Public Health, Private Parts: A Feminist Public-Health Approach to Trans Issues

This paper identifies and examines the possible contributions that emerging fields of study, particularly feminist public health, can make to enhancing and expanding trans/feminist theory and practice. A feminist public-health approach that is rooted in a tradition of political economy, social justice and equity studies, and an anti-oppression orientation, provides one of the most comprehensive toolboxes of perspectives, theoretical frameworks, methods, practices, processes, and strategies for trans-oriented scholars and activists.
